Doral Renewables Selects NovaSource as Partner to Deploy the 1.6-GWdc Mammoth Solar Project in Indiana
LCG, April 21, 2025--NovaSource Power Services ("NovaSource") recently announced that it has partnered with Doral Renewables and has been selected as the Operations and Maintenance ("O&M") and Generator Operator ("GO") for the Mammoth Solar Project, one of the largest agrivoltaics facilities in the United States.
The Mammoth Solar Project, located in Pulaski and Starke Counties, Indiana, is a four-phase project designed to achieve 1.6 GWdc of capacity when fully completed. The project design incorporates agrivoltaics to integrate the solar power generation facilities with agricultural use so as to advance both clean energy and sustainable farming practices.
In May 2021, Doral Renewables executed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with AEP Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power. In October 2021, Doral Renewables announced its plans to establish Mammoth Solar to produce clean energy across 13,000 acres, with an investment of $1.5 billion. The project was named "Mammoth" because of ancient mammoth bones discovered in fields where it would be built and because of the growing size and scope of the mammoth project.
Construction on the first phase of the project, Mammoth North (480 MWdc), commenced in October 2021, and it became operational in October 2024. The other three phases, Mammoth South (360 MWdc), Mammoth Central I (360 MWdc), and Mammoth Central II (360 MWdc), are all expected to achieve commercial operation in 2026. Upon completion, the Mammoth Solar Project is expected to be the largest solar energy project in the country.
"Mammoth Solar Project represents a groundbreaking approach to agrivoltaics, and we are proud to collaborate with Doral Renewables on a project that sets new industry benchmarks for scale, sustainability, and innovation," stated the Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at NovaSource Power Services. "Our team is committed to delivering the highest standards of service, ensuring the project operates at its full potential and meeting all regulatory and operational requirements."
"We are thrilled to partner with NovaSource Power Services to bring the Mammoth Solar Project to life," said the Vice President of Asset Management at Doral Renewables. "Mammoth Solar's commitment to farming families, dual-use practices and the local communities will allow farmers to produce food and crop alongside the solar panels, maximizing their land and profitability. The majority of these efforts will occur during the operation phase of the project and require an O&M partner with both professional experience and a similar community-oriented approach. NovaSource's proven track record and credentials makes them the perfect partner to back up our commitments."
